Package: libc6 Version: 2.25-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
valgrinding a C code shows the following: ==27943== 4,096 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 3 of 3 ==27943== by 0x6C27715: getpwnam_r@@GLIBC_2.2.5 (getXXbyYY_r.c:314) ==27943== by 0x4E8569F: rpl_glob (glob.c:781) That rpl_glob() is gnulib's glob replacement. The code there looks good. And valgrind doesn't/didn't show this leak with previous (2.24 and lower) versions of glibc. I can't currently provide you with a short reproducer (out of time here).
